Nimbus254 will become famous soon enough
Default Greetings from Philadelphia

Hi, my name is Niecie. I used to be a member of DAGG back in the day, and have been a member of HCW since it began. I signed up for this site a long time ago, but haven't visited in a while and have only just begun posting.

I've been married for 6 years, and we have a 3 year old son with baby boy#2 due in January.

I've always been big on recycling and not wasting water and turning off lights when we're not using them, and other things like that. I bought reusuable SIGG bottles and a PUR pitcher, and no longer buy bottled water for our family. And I also bought a bunch of reusuable grocery bags and use them every time I shop. No more paper or plastic for me.

Now I want to start focusing on buying more organic foods. It's going to be hard on my budget, especially once the new baby arrives, but I'm hoping this site will help me out.

Welcome Niecie!


You'll find a lot of helpful folks here with some great information to get you started on incorporating organics into your diet. Don't hesitate to ask! It's a sticker shock at first, but when you start to weigh the pros vs cons, it's money better spent in the end. Of course, there is always coupons to help stretch the budget - they're just a bit harder to come into than more conventional food coupons.

Glad to have you here!

Welcome! Congratulations on your new addition!
I think I am just the opposite of you right now. I started with the organic foods and now I am getting into the recycling, saving energy, etc.

Welcome back Niecie. I like your username, it made me think of Harry Potter.

I have been keeping a spread sheet since I started here at OGD and so far my monthly budget has only increased a tad. A trade off of different sorts. So far, so good. I think once you start finding/getting more organic/natural Q's, buying the stuff will get a bit easier especially. Also, now that I have been at it for a few months, my eyes tend to automatically zoom in on the organic stuff no matter whether I shop at a conventional store or a farmers market.

I love Harry Potter! I had the name long before I read the books, but the correlation never crossed my mind before lol.

Thank all of you for the warm welcomes!
